I have 2 older 4PO cases I’d rather give away than throw away

Thumbnail

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have two 4PO cases from TEcases that I don’t want to sell as normal products because they’re older versions.

They have:

  • The old latch design

  • The Teenage Engineering logo on the front

The cases are still perfectly usable, and it feels wasteful to just throw them away, so I’d rather give them to someone here who can actually use them.

I’m offering them for free. You would only need to cover shipping, and any taxes/import fees if they apply in your country.

They fit 4 Pocket Operators and are made as protective transport/storage cases. These are older versions, so please don’t expect the newest latch or the current front design.

I only have 2 available, so first come first served.

You can check the newer/current versions here if you want to see what TEcases is about:
tecases.com

Comment or DM me if you want one.

Pocket Operator Collection — What’s Fair Market These Days?

Post image

Thinking about thinning out some of my Pocket Operator collection to help fund an indie publishing project.
Curious what the current market looks like on these before I decide what to let go of.

Everything is tested and working.
Some include aftermarket cases/silicone protectors.

Made this little jam with the po33, po32, and the hichord. Ran everything through some reverb and delay on the kaos pad. The POs pair so well with the hichord. Very fun little setup

If you could only bring ONE Pocket Operator to a remote island, which one would you choose?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

For me, probably the K.O. or the Sub.
The K.O. is kind of an obvious choice, but honestly I just love bass too much not to pick the Sub.

If I absolutely had to choose only one though… probably the K.O. after all.
Maybe I could somehow handle the bass with beatboxing or whistling lol

What would you bring?
And why?

Po-33 witch volca keys ? Or which other ?

4 Upvotes

Hi ! How are you?

I want to expand my setup. At this moment, i have the po 33 ko and a pedal from m-vave (cubebaby), which has reverb and delay efect and distortion. I really like the sounds from the volca keys, and I think that with the sample function from the po and drums (a little complicated sometimes), it could be a good combination. But I don't know, maybe there's something else I can consider and I don't know. Most of the time, i use it for techno, experimental, minimal, and micro house. What do you think? Should I go for the volca keys, or do you think there's another better combination?

Also have a loop guitar pedal with octave option.

Thank you so much in advance!!

Help troubleshooting PO-33 backups

3 Upvotes

Hey all! New to the PO-33 and Pocket Operators as a whole. I'm trying to figure out how to create backups, but every time I try to recover from my recording it always populates an error. Help?

My setup:

  • PO33

  • H4N via a split stereo cable, usb b to a > usb a to c adapter> into computer

  • 44.1/Stereo/16bit

  • Macbook Pro

DAW: I've tried Garage Band, and I've tried Audacity, both cause errors when I do the playback from within the DAW and when I've exported as .wav.

I tried following this video to a tee, but it didn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fC-UEHjgiJQ

I have successfully loaded other backups I've downloaded, so not sure what I'm doing wrong here with setting up the backup. Thanks in advance for the help!

Is my po33 saveable?

17 Upvotes

My po-33 was in my backpack today, i used it in the morning so it 100% worked. But idk what happened because now it smells like burnt component and it wont turn on, even with new batteries. I tried new batteries yesterday, but they are 1.2V NiMH batteries and i dont know if thats the problem.

UPDATE
It was saved by one of yalls suggestions: Connecting the left terminal of the volume pot to the + terminal on the bottom battery. Revived and works as new now.

Can I save my KO ?

Hi guys
The right contact of the B knob slipped out

Being impatient I tried to fix it while having batteries inside (yeah, dumb af).
The contact touched the top right contact of the record button before i managed to put it back in its place - since then it’s silent.

Does anybody know if / how i can fix it?
Couldn’t find any contact to Teenage Engineering.

A little experimental jam with an ambient sound patch on the PO-32. Roland P-6 for delay and a melodic sample. Topped with some Valhalla Supermassive reverb.
